My new house!
17 March 2008
This is our new house. A great little brick cape cod just 2 miles from downtown Lexington yet in a wonderfully quiet neighborhood and with a ton of green space. It all is a work in progress--new paint, plans to take out walls, etc... but we are loving every minute of this place. My mother-in-law and I have started making some linen roman shades. I have one completed and up and took a picture. The top 1/3 is sheer to let continuous light in and the bottom 2/3 is natural linen. The funky tree fabric is my new fabric from Ikea that I made curtains for the dining room in. They are trimmed in linen as well. There is alot still to do. The entire house (except for the living room that we just painted) needs painted and the floors need sanding in time. But now that the weather is getting nicer, we'll focus our energies outside. In the next month we'll get our garden going and get the back patio screened in. The detatched garage is becoming my studio space!!!
